You don’t have to hit rock bottom to have a drinking problem
Imagine a world where you don't have to hit rock bottom to realise you might have a drinking problem. Lee Davy, host of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, is here to shake up your understanding of alcohol consumption with the concept of 'grey area drinking'. In this episode, Lee explores the Alcohol Spectrum, a fascinating framework that challenges the traditional notion of alcoholism.
It's not just about those who drink excessively; it's about recognising the subtle signs that alcohol might be disrupting your life even if you're not waking up in a gutter. Lee shares anecdotes from his journey, including stories of STRIVERS like Louise from Australia, who drank only three times a year yet felt disconnected from herself. This episode isn't about fitting into labels or waiting for society to call it a problem.
It's about understanding where you stand on the Alcohol Spectrum and taking action before things fall apart. Lee's candid approach is both refreshing and challenging, urging you to redefine what it means to struggle with alcohol and what it means to be truly free. You'll find yourself questioning societal norms and reflecting on your relationship with alcohol. Are you drinking more than you want to? Is alcohol your coping mechanism?
These are the questions Lee wants you to ponder as he dismantles the grey area and introduces a more honest, structured way of looking at alcohol consumption. If you're curious about where you fit on the Alcohol Spectrum and how it can lead to a self-led, alcohol-free life, this episode is a must-listen. It's time to break free from the fog and embrace clarity, integrity, and joy. So, are you ready to move closer to freedom?
